Psy/em is pretty much the easiest thing in the game right now. If you have one of those, and maybe an elec/therm too, you can beat pretty much everything in the game.
Psi/EM is good now, but I'll wager Fire/EM will retake the top spot once the placate proc gets fixed (Flares and Fire Blast are just too damn powerful for that not to happen). If you want to try a Cold Troller, take a look at Earth/Cold. In theory at least, that combination brings tons of -def (so your /Cold debuffs hit more easily) and good damage, as well as a ridiculously long-lasting mez (Stalagmites is win when combined with Power Boost and Benumb).

A tank can't kill a good melee dueler. I've seen some SS tanks kill guys here and there, ranged usually arn't that hard, but they can't get enough damage to kill good scrappers or brutes.
Basically any combination for scrappers and brutes should work. I wouldn't bother with /fire though.

PvP Redux is discontinued, for obvious reasons. Thanks to everyone who helped and joined.

Yeah good luck with that. I'll wager it's one of those things they're simply too stupid to figure out, so it'll be part of the game forever, just like stalker placate.|

At this point, it's clearly not a time issue. It's been a known bug for what...4 years? They simply are not good enough programmers to figure out how to fix a bug.
And considering this "new" bug (new meaning less than 1 year old, lol) also involves placate, I wouldn't have high hopes.

Yeah but, couldnt a elec/elec tank drain anything in no time? Also, with procs I imagine a SS tank can drop anything. I only use KO blow and JAb/Boxing, that proced deals nice dmg..hmm, makes me sad

My Elec/Elec Brute does quite well in duels because of the drain. It attacks the blue bar the way most attack the green one. I believe though that it has two big advantages over a Tank that would try to acheive the same.|

1. I have fury to make up for the fact that end draining can require an investment in end draining enhancers in attacks. I don't if know a Tanker could afford the sacrafice.
2. My Mu patron offers 2 of the main powers I use to drain foes: Mu Lightning and Static Discharge. Both are ranged and play a very important part of keeping end from recovering once my opponent starts the whole "not enough end to keep toggles up panic dance."
"Situational power? Sure. Although in a sense... all powers are situational. It's just that some situations occur more than others." Understand the situation needed in order for the power to be most effective... and make that situation happen.

Rules can differ... and are usually agreed upon before many duels begin, from my exp. More often than not though most are lookning for a no insp match I believe. |

Either way blues can often buy enough time to kill a squishy before end drain becomes a big problem. Electric Armor can often survive long enough to outlast a few blues though... esp in a duel. It's not s much the -End that becomes a problem for your opponent... it's the -Recovery that has a chance with most attacks.
Geas/Force of Nature and even Conserve Power is where you may run into problems when facing though.

I have a bazillion pvp toons yes a bazillion. I need a top tier Arena toon, YES I aware that the arena circuit is "dead". But naturally, the toon will still do fine in zone pvp, and is always able to take it to the arena. Anyways, all that aside, what do you guys recommend?
I have there heroes:
Sonic/Em
Psy/Em
Spines/Regen
BS/Regen
WP/SS
Mind/Therm
Rad/Sonic
Fire/Em
Psy/Dev
Ice/rad
Storm/Ice
I am 100% willing to make anything else. So...yeah...I also try to stay away from blasters but if blasters are best then...Anyways, suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I've been thinking about Mind/Cold or something /Cold in the controller set. I am looking for a new hero only. I dunno...
